too many bm's to count.....

even though it's only tuesday, poop has already become the theme of the week!  i think i had 3 patients yesterday and 2 today either have a bm while we were in the room or ask to be transferred to the bedside commode and then do their business while we're still there getting everything put back together!  add in all the women that just lift their gowns up to wipe their faces or ask you to check and make sure they aren't getting a rash "down there", and the men that seem to have no qualms about their business hanging out.....it's been a fairly traumatizing experience!  besides the lack of modesty we've encountered, my CI and our other student pt rachel (who's from iowa too, crazy), have been tackling those ortho evals like pros.  we switched teams this week and are now seeing thr's, tkr's, hip fx's, lum and cerv fusions, etc, etc.  i've seen/done enough ankle pumps, quad sets, heel slides, and straight leg raises to last a lifetime.  after 3 evals on my own today, the kinks are starting to get worked out!  i hope everybody is having a great time at their sites, miss you guys!!
